A simple Leveling system for an RV

The following four postings explain how I made some simple leveling ramps using pressure treated 2x10 boards. The 10 inch width allows room for the tires to completely sit on the ramp without hanging over the edges. The system consists of eight 3/4 inch dowel rods 3 inches long, four boards (the length of two tires with the two top boards being one foot shorter), four eye screws and two large nails for a set. Drill eight 3/4 inch holes to place the dowel rods in after cutting 2 boards to equal lengths and 2 boards one foot shorter, with one end of each board cut at a 45 degree angle. In the squared off end of each board, place two eye screws where nails will keep them in place and prevent kicking up when completed. The shorter boards with the same 45 degree angle will have no eye screws in them. Place one of the shorter boards on top of the longer board with with square ends evenly flush; clamp in this position, then drill four 7/8 inch holes where dowel rods will be placed to keep them from moving when driving upon them. Paint the board sets with the dowel rods placed in them one color; paint the other set a different color so that the dowel rods will fit properly. The reason for this is that the drilled holes may differ somewhat. Click on any picture to see larger details and then use your back button to return to posting. This explains how I did it; you may have a better method.
